I still don't understand. A video game is not in the real world! Controllers make them go. When you buy the game you get a scanner- think barcode battlers, but instead of tins of beans you use Lego minifigs with chips in their legs or something. When you buy a character you set it on the scanner, and that character appears in the game. It means you get to play in the game as one of your toys, which is something that would have blown young Nick's mind and pocket money if it had been around when I was wee. Some people don't like the premise, likening it to on-disc DLC (extra characters and missions on the game disk that you can't access until you've paid, AFTER paying for the game) since all the characters you can buy are technically already loaded in the game, but fans think that's an unfair comparison since the "characters sold separately" aspect is an essential part of the play pattern and everyone who buys the game knows that going in. Apart from the odd parent, of course, who will no doubt be surprised that all the characters on the front of the box have to be purchased individually in order to let the kid play as them. I'm not sure where I stand on it, myself. -Nick

I sense you may not be quite the target market!

I've been eyeing up the 'Classic' sets ie the boxes of random bricks. Could be a good substitute for pick-a-brick. Damn if only the Burger had a lego store.

Accept no substitutes!
Unless you need wall building material.

The owner of the Daily Mail donates to UKIP. Horrible racist rag.

Are you mixing up Mail and Express or are they both at it?

Simpsons minifig wave 2 spotted in Toys Galore today. They look a bit better than wave 1 though I can't put my finger on why exactly.

The buildable figures look a lot better than the Marvel efforts from a few years ago.

Doesn't stop The Fail from being scum though The Mail is a marginally different flavour of "Little England" right-wing monstrosity. Speaking as one who has had the misfortune to make the acquaintance of both. Karl

Has anyone seen 75088 Senate Commando Troopers anywhere other than ASDA? Are they an ASDA exclusive?

I hadn't realised that the Microfighters are paired!
If you put the correct pair next to each other the correct way round (eg Snowspeeder on the left, ATAT on the right) the boxes form a battle scene

Jurassic Park Lego spotted in Glasgow Lego store. Sets look fun, the dinosaurs less so.

Braved TRU on Bank Holiday Monday. Got some superb SW discounts: Got four of the five Microfighters I needed for £7.19 each and the remaining two battlepacks for £9.59. Throw in something for Jonathan and two spend £30, get five off vouchers and :-D

If two chums agree then his must surely buy it.
And build it on camera.

It looks a bit simpler and less tortuous than the one we saw Nick build before.

I still want to make him build it while I drink heavily and hurl abuse though.
